Do not throw away old nylon: 20 unexpected uses in everyday life.

According to ТСН: Old nylon tights and stockings often end up in the trash after the first wear, but experienced housewives know that this material can be extremely useful in everyday life and in the garden. Since nylon decomposes very slowly, its reuse is not only a profitable but also an environmentally friendly solution that gives new life to things.

Uses in household

Synthetic fiber helps keep things tidy:

• Nylon attracts dust and pet hair like a magnet. A stretched stocking on a ruler or a ball on a long stick secured with a rubber band allows you to clean even the narrowest crevices.

• If you accidentally spill small items, just put a piece of tights on the vacuum cleaner hose to collect them.

• Nylon is the perfect material for polishing glass, mirrors, and shoes, as it does not leave lint or streaks.

• Tights soaked in vinegar wrapped around a faucet will help remove limescale.

• A piece of soap in a nylon mesh does not soak through and is convenient to use.

• You can cut hair ties from tights that do not damage the hair.

• Nylon will protect delicate fabrics during washing if placed in a stocking and tied in a knot.

• To remove pet hair from sofas, you can wear the foot part on your hand.

• Nylon can easily be made into aromatic sachets for wardrobes: they repel moths. Such sachets with mint or rose petals create a cozy atmosphere.

• Wormwood and clove buds protect against rats, while basil or thyme repel mosquitoes.

• In difficult weather conditions, stockings filled with cat litter will help dry shoes.

• With children, you can make a grass toy by stuffing a stocking with soil and grass seeds.
